Derelict Boat Update

Each year since I began paddling the Indian River Lagoon near my home in Florida in 2010, I have chronicled the derelict boats I’ve run across on the Lagoon’s spoil islands. Each one has a story, shrouded in mystery, that ends on these islands. How did they get there? Are they abandoned? What brought them to what may be their final resting place?
